PAX Halo 2 Tournament(s) ?

Hey.

Does anybody know anything about any official Halo 2 tournaments at PAX? Any idea of the gametypes? Can I play as an elite? Will we play something other than Midship and Lockout all the time? Can we please ban superbouncing and BXRing?

    Probably.

    Either that or a Halo 3 Beta Tourney. :D

    i'm with m4yh3m, it's just not like the old days of rocket whoring with my drunk buddies on a 12-16 player lan party. halo tourneys at pax are just feeling dated.

    Age alone doesn't determine whether or not a game makes the cut. How many of you who think Halo 2 is dated would even enter the tourney in the first place?

    I honestly think there won't be one.

    Because it would more than likely just be the public beta version again, and people wouldn't be as excited about it (and Bungie would also be entering crunch time, hardcore)

    if there really was a halo 3 tourney, i wouldn't be able to help myself, i'd just find a way to steal it!

    You can try, but they'll most likely have it locked up. Heavier then they had had GH2 last year.

    Also, it should be remembered that they're releasing new Halo 2 content (maps) a couple months before PAX.

    Speak for yourself. Some of us have debug units and such...

    debug units can't run retail discs, though, so it still wouldn't be very helpful to steal Halo 3 - you'd still have to pay for it, either with jail time or 60$ in money :P

    Debug units will play unsigned disks. If halo3 is brought it would be on a Dev kit with the code running off of the hard drive.

    for the record incase anyone tries, don't bother trying to steal the hard drive...it wouldn't run on your retail 360.

    A much more devious plan of action is a Hard disk copy and to get it back before anyone notices the 360 drive is gone in the first place *innocent whistle*

    well, anyone can get a sata connector and just jack the data off it, hell, i can do it at the show with my laptop. then, there's always reformatting the drive for your 360. damn, why are we going so into detail about stealing stuff from out beloved pax?
